About:

Established in 2021. BTBstudios is a sustainable and ethically based streetwear/ artisanal denim brand run by Bronzen Taylor-Bogaars a Melbourne based fashion designer born to a half Sri Lankan/Australian Family. Bronzen has also studied fashion design and technology formally for three years previously at Kangan Institute and now at RMIT but has been independently studying fashion for over 8 years.

Each design/Garment goes through many processes to reach its final stage, with the use of recycled / reclaimed materials and fabrics being a large focus area for the brand, as it attempts to break away from the norm of fast fashion. Each piece is Handmade and made to order which helps give customers pieces to express their individuality in the world. All pieces from the brand are hand made by Bronzen with multiple hours spent working on each individual piece.

Design practice:

BTB Studios is a sustainability aware brand that encapsulates the ideas of zero waste clothing by using many different traditional mending and patchwork techniques, also the use of deadstock fabric within some designs. Its designs also explore the practical side of clothing such as 1930’s workwear but in a way that is new and different to things seen before, Its designs also draw many inspirations from the history of denim.

BTB Studios acknowledges that our work is made on stolen land, the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present and all Indigenous peoples of so-called Australia. Sovereignty was never ceded.
